Abstract

This article is the outcome of new applications of space technology in an effort to find solution to the ever increasing problem of waste. We humans produce billions of tons of waste a year for which there is hardly enough space on the earth with ever increasing boundaries of cities. The outcome is simple yet effective, the research took place for more than a few months to collect the data, examine the consequences and conclude with appropriate results. This article is the first among series of two papers. The solution is applicable to all waste irrespective of the characterization. It can be one of the most efficient ways of waste management in the near future. The waste management will be taken to a new height for a better, efficient and a successful method than ever before. This process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, environment or aesthetics.
